After days spent exploring the surrounding hills, Loch Tay offers a different kind of adventure.

The village is also home to historic sites and scenic landmarks, including Kinnell Stone Circle and the Clan McNabb Burial Grounds. You'll be staying within the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, a vast and wild expanse of mountains, lochs and countryside where Scotland's spectacular landscapes take centre stage.

From scenic drives through Glen Ogle to days discovering Balquhidder, Callander and the shores of Loch Lomond, the area offers endless opportunities for exploration, while keen walkers can enjoy easy access to sections of the famous West Highland Way.
